It’s going to be an interesting year for athletics at the University of North Dakota, as the NCAA prepares to come down hard on the school.
Are they in trouble for recruiting violations? That’s been happening a lot in college sports these days, but that isn’t it. Have players been selling UND stuff on eBay or accepting payments? Nope, that’s not it either. Well, does it have to do with performance enhancing drugs then? Nope!
It’s all in the name.
Until they’re no longer known as the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux, the Grand Forks Herald reports the school won’t be allowed to host any playoff games or wear uniforms that display the team name or logo if they do make it to the postseason. ESPN says the NCAA has been trying for years now to rid the college ranks of offensive “American Indian nicknames, logos or mascots” and the UND’s deadline for a name change is mid-August of this year… (more…)

It’s Monday and that means a new 15 Minutes of Fame video for your enjoyment.

National _______ League
Did you hear what happened last week in the National Lacrosse League?
The Boston Blazers brass are a little red in the face after a halftime production drew some bad press from everyone but “Scorch,” the team’s mascot. Personally I don’t know what all the fuss is about – what says “fun for the whole family” like a “best lap dance” contest?
That’s right! Three female contestants from the crowd squared off during the break at the TD Garden in Boston to see who could give “Scorch” the best lap dance, as an arena full of parents and kids looked on. (more…)
Geno Auriemma made headlines over the weekend in a room full of reporters when he talked the talk; his team did the same this week, walking the walk.

(more…)
On this week’s episode of 15 Minutes of Fame, Jim and Geoffrey discuss the Edmonton Oilers and their “let’s play for the first overall pick” style of hockey.

In this week’s GABBYs – Good: Redwings Lidstrom, Matt Hulsizer and Phoenix Coyotes and Cliff Lee selflessly takes a five-year $120 million contract. Bad: A bench-clearing brawl in the KHL, Brett Favre’s streak comes to an end and Gilbert Arenas is finally traded.
